Borderline Normal

Borderline normal is a coming of age drama about two sons whose parents split up and how in particular this affects the younger son.

This is a strange film in many ways, it features some hard hitting drama but also some strange characters. It has a relatively high profile cast with decent actors like Corbin Bernsen, Stephanie Zimbalist and Michael Ironside who provide excellent support. Unfortunately I found the performance of the lead Robin Dunne a little wooden but this is offset by a great performance by Caterina Scorsone as his girlfriend.

There are some excellent scenes here but these are interspersed with scenes that seem out of place and amateurish. This really is a bit of a mish mash and it's a shame as this had the potential to be really good film.

For all it's annoying faults this is never dull and is pretty entertaining.
